My Close To My Heart Haul!! AWESOME Items To Be Seen!!!

Hey All!!!

Here is my Close To My Heart haul video that I made! Feels like its been FOREVER since I made a haul video; well, since I put myself on a spending freeze that is!

When I signed up for Close To My Heart again, I told myself that I would be putting some of the money I make in commissions BACK into my business in the beginning. I mean, if I don't show you the AWESOMENESS of Close To My Heart, then how should I expect to sell anything??? So, I took the commissions I made from my in home demo & at work demo and I turned it into my Close To My Heart business. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT I GOT!!! And I got EVERYTHING you will see in the video with the exception of shipping and 1 of my Card Making Workshop kits with that money!

This business is SO IMPORTANT to me! I just want to grow with this company SO BAD! They truly care about us, and they are ALWAYS there for us! If you are looking to work for a company like I just described, then sign up to be a consultant under me! You will be SO GLAD that you did!!!

My Haul From Scrapbook Expo in PA! PICTURE HEAVY!

Click HERE for my 500 Follower Giveaway! Make a comment on that post & follow my blog for your chance to win!!!

 

WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY!!!

 

 

Hey All!

 

Soooo I am BACK from my Expo!! I had a WONDERFUL TIME!! I did think at first it was not meant to be for me to go because of all the obstacles I ran into on Friday morning before I got there, but I truly believe I was meant to go! I did go by myself, but I made some AMAZING women and learned some things from them! I also had a FANTASTIC time volunteering! I worked with a woman name Lois for my first shift (her hubby was Jerry) and they are from Washington. I WISH I would of had a way to contact her cause we wanted to keep in touch! So, if anyone knows Lois from the Scrapbook Expo out of Washington, please send her my way!!

 

So, I wont go into the whole story, cause I tell the whole story on my video, which is below. I will, instead, just go into showing you all the pictures from the Expo itself!

 

 

 

 

This was the midnight Crop area. I worked in the VERY back where it says "TRY IT OUT". That was the tool area! If you paid for a ticket for in there, you could use ALL the tools for free! And they had A TON you could use!

This was Nicole Peterson booth. She had the whole selection of the new Heidi Swapp Color Pop line. BUT, she was rather expensive. Nice booth set up! She was the ONLY ONE that sold Unity Stamps there!

This booth was Rubber Red Neckers out of CA. They had an AMAZING booth! Everything was VERY organized! LOVED IT! They also were the only one set up to sell the CANDI. It was buy 4 get 1 package free. No need to tease me! 4 and 1 free please!

This was the Melissa Frances booth. You cant see the best parts of the booth set up cause people were hanging all around it. Their setup was very creative and they had one of the best deals!

Here is Scraputante! Her booth was AWESOME! She had a TON of paper! Paper that was American made, and paper made in Poland I believe! It was very cool! She was who I went to for my Color Pop paper! Go Kelly! Her booth was HOPPING all day!

This was the CREATE area. It was SO hard to get a seat to be able to do a make and take. This was the booth from the Scrapbook Expo people. Super cute make and takes. Bummed I couldn't do it!

Here was SCRAP THAT...See the women in the middle? They are all huddled around the paper buckets! The paper there was $.33 or if you bought 40, it was $.25 a sheet! Nothing in that booth was over $2.50 I believe! They had some great stuff!

Here was the guy with all the Washi Tape. He had a BUNCH to choose from! Wish I would of went to him first! Better Prices.

Ahh...to be rich...to hit the lottery...to own one of these!

This was Saturday morning's giveaway! Look! You could win a Scrap Box!!!

Here was my number I stood on for The Numbers Game...

 

 

And here is what I won!! WHOOP WHOOP!

 

Here's all my earnings for the day, minus the $50 I spent from the morning!

Click HERE for my 500 Follower Giveaway! Make a comment on that post & follow my blog for your chance to win!!!

Hey all!!

So sorry, but I am STILL not feeling up to par...UGG... I totally hate when I am sick...Its the worst! I AM glad that my booger is feeling better! His cough is still horrible, but I can tell its not AS harsh as what it was!

Anyway, before work today, I decided that I should just stop to "stalk" out my Michael's to see what they happened to have out. Well, let me tell you that I am SO glad that I decided to go today (even thought I felt like a bus hit me :(   ) because my friend that stocks up the paper section KNOWS I go on Thursday's and she hooked a girl up!! Lookie what I found today:

 

Simple Stories Pink SN@P Binder with inserts!

 

Simple Stories SN@P  3X4, 4X6, & 6X6 paper pads!

 

New SMASH stuff!!!

 

I am really so glad that I went today also BECAUSE she said that the SN@P stuff wasn't supposed to go out for another week! OOOO I was SO glad to hear that I got there today and she hooked me up!! I can't wait to use this stuff!!

 

 

Also, when I got home, I had a little present waiting in the mail for me:

 

 

My FIRST Unity Stamp of The Week Sets!!!

 

So, since I got home late tonight and I am still sick, I'm sorry to say I have not projects to show, BUT I have a haul video to make up for it!!! All the goodies I showed above with be in the video!!

 

One last thing before I leave you with the video...All of you lovely crafters that submitted to the most recent Paper Craft Magazine Call...they will be picking for that issue TOMORROW!!! Make sure to watch out on their Face book page! Its always pins and needles to hear if you are picked, but its fun to be around such good company!!!

 

OK...here is my video!

 





OK all...Hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!

Hey All!

So sorry this wont be a long post today...BUT...I...AM...SICK..and so is my little guy :(

Its actually Wednesday night, so I am getting ready for bed, but I wanted you guys to be greeted bright and early by an AWESOME haul video by me! You should know that this was a TOTAL mail haul (with the exception of the 3 things from Joanne's!). I cannot believe everything came in the same day! WHOOP WHOOP!

Also, before I leave  you with my video, Paper Crafts Magazine has a new call for submissions! I think this call is PERFECT for all of us! EVERYONE has something in their home that makes them qualified to try out for this call! Check out the details HERE.


Here is a quick picture of my new SMASH pages that I did...Not too much...and I just finished up a page from last night as well!

I added ANTHONY and the rum and coke picture and arrows to this page.

 

 

Whole new page..sorry its crooked...I cant get it to go right side up!! WAAAHHH!!

 

 

Also, I wanted you to see how the pictures look when you use Pic Stitch and your Selphy:

 

 

They printed at 1.75 X 2.75 (roughly). I did ruin 3 pieces and some pics cause I saved the pictures to the 4x6 horizontal setting instead of 4 x 6 VERTICAL setting. I learned, and now I cant wait to get smashing on these pics!!!



 

One last thing before you see my haul video...Did you know that Our Kreative Karma blog has an AWESOME monthly challenge going on right now? Any SPRING or PASTEL project can be submitted for a chance to win by the end of the month! Come on over and check it out!!

Ok... NOW on to my video!!



OK all! Hope you enjoyed! Hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!

Click HERE for my 500 Follower Giveaway! Make a comment on this post & follow my blog for your chance to win!!!

Hey All!!!

HOLY COW! This post is going to be CHOCK full of info!!! I am in OVERLOAD right now!!!

So, I wanted to go to Michael's to capitalize on the Heidi Swapp sale and get the rest of the color shines that I needed. Well, needless to say, my Michael's had 3 colors, all of which I already had. So, my friend that works there called another Michael's for me and they at first said "we don't carry her stuff"...REALLY??? HEEEELLLLLOOOO its on SALE this week..YES YOU DO CARRY IT! So, I left that one and started to call another Michael's. Well, while I was on hold at the other one, my friend texted me and told me they had the 5 that I was looking for at the one she called! JJJJAAAAAACCCCKKKKPPPPOOOOOTTTT!!!

So, I headed off to that Michael's.

When I got there, the Scrap book department was kinda in disarray..but, I managed to find the Heidi Swapp display. I thought, WOW, they really need to fill their end caps cause this is what I saw:

So, being the noisy wonder that I am, I meandered over closer...Now THIS is what I saw upon closer inspection:

 

SAY WHAT???

 

Yup, if you can't see, those tags say SN@P!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

 

 

THHHHEEEEENNN, I thought, hmmm, how about I go check out the SMASH section...Well, I had the same "empty" thought....

 



BUTTTT...its NEEEWWW SMASH Stuff! From what I remember, there were SMASH Scissors, SMASH cutter, and the Fortune Cookie thing going in there! OH, and the inker!!!

This is ALL going out TOMORROW at that Michael's!

So, that is all my info for now! But, before I go, here is a nice little haul video:



OK all, hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Some FANTIASTIC news and a haul I've been waiting for!

Hello All!!!

So I have some AWESOME news!!! Babci's surgery went AWESOME yesterday! She is doing great! They checked her lymph nodes and the initial results from Pathology is that the node is negative for any spread of cancer. Of coarse this will have to go to a different lab and have other tests done, but as of right now, she is cancer free!!! She was up and moving around last night at the hospital, and as of this morning, her only complaint was that my Dzidzi (Grandfather-Polish) snored to loud last night so she didn't get much sleep! What an awesome woman she is! She is a true fighter! I am SO proud of her!!!!

When I got home last night, I had to packages waiting for me that I have been waiting what seems like FOREVER for!!! I made a video to show you some cool new things that I cant wait to play with!!

Thankfully my You Tube wanted to work right today! Yea!!!

So, I also made another video and I am REALLY trying to figure out how to edit it! I was in the middle of editing and I only had 3 more minutes to cut out so it would work on You Tube and my computer shut down on me! It was 2 hours TOTALLY WASTED!!! Oh well, cant get upset about it! I have other things to utilize my energy on! LOL!

I will have some exciting news to give you all this weekend! Wait for the big announcement!!!

Til then, hope to find you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

No Hobby Lobby for me...But, a haul video for you!

Hey guys,

So yesterday I made a quick post about going to Hobby Lobby...well, sadly we didnt make it there. Our GPS could not navigate there and it was saying that it was 87 miles away! Hubby was NOT ready to drive that far! I guess I cant say that I would blame him! The good news is that they are opening one in the Millville NJ area and thats only a half hour away! I'll be there every weekend once it opens in February!!! I can only imagine the great deals I will find!!! Stay tuned for the opening weekend there!! I'll do a video!

Speaking of video, I made one last night, and I DIDNT get cut off! Its just another haul video, but I am a step closer to grasping video uploading! I found out that if your video is longer than 15 minutes, it will NOT get uploaded to You Tube! So that is what I am aiming for now...shorter than 15 minutes!!! I will have a few videos to share tomorrow and the next day! But, PS, does anyone know how to work Intelli-Studio for video editing?????

For tomorrow's post, I will show you a few videos! I am in the process AS WE SPEAK of making my first stamps!! Woo Hoo!!! Lets see how this turns out!!!

Hope to find you all Craftin' and Stampin'!
